I’m so glad you decided to take this step towards your well-being and happiness!
I’m here to support you on your journey of healing and growth. Therapy can be a powerful tool to help you cope with challenges, discover new insights, and achieve your goals. In our sessions, we will work together to create a safe and trusting space where you can express yourself freely and explore your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I will listen to you with empathy and respect and offer you feedback/ guidance based on evidence-based practices and my clinical training.
You are in the driver’s seat, and I’m here to support you on your journey. Each individual deserves a personalized approach that suits their needs and preferences. That’s why I will collaborate with you to tailor a treatment plan that matches your strengths, values, and aspirations. My role is not to judge you or tell you what to do but to empower you to find your solutions and make positive changes in your life.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, self-esteem or any other concern, I’m here to help you overcome them and move forward with confidence, hope, and life fulfillment. You are not alone in this process. I’m honored to be your therapist, and I look forward to getting to know you better.
I am currently an MFT student at Pepperdine University working under the supervision of Dr. Kevin Niehaus, PsyD, LPCC #8824.
